The elevator travels at 10 meters per second. Book now and choose your Burj Khalifa experience.
Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, creates its own microclimate, with temperatures at the top being up to 7 degrees Celsius cooler than at the ground. The Burj Khalifa uses 946,000 liters of water daily, enough to fill 20 Olympic swimming pools. The building's cooling system waste heat provides completely free water heating.
Believe it or not, the Burj Khalifa's exterior is covered in over 26,000 glass panels, which are cleaned by a team of professional window washers who use 36 km of rope to descend from the top. The reinforced steel bars laid end to end would stretch 2,909 kilometers: a quarter of the way around Earth or from Dubai to Tehran.
The building's spire at the top is not just for show - it acts as a lightning rod and prevents the building from being struck by lightning. During construction, concrete was poured continuously for 36 hours to create the foundation, the largest continuous concrete pour ever recorded. The pour used 12,500 cubic meters of concrete mixed with ice to prevent cracking.
The elevator inside Burj Khalifa holds the record for the longest non-stop journey, taking visitors from the ground floor to the observation deck on the 148th floor in just 1 minute and 22 seconds. The building's spire contains a mosque on level 158, the world's highest mosque at 621 meters. It accommodates 900 worshippers and points toward Mecca with astronomical precision.
The Burj Khalifa features an exquisite art collection in its residential lobby, including works by renowned artists such as Jaume Plensa and Olafur Eliasson.Exterior cleaning takes three months using 36 workers. They clean 24,348 windows covering 120,000 square meters, the length of 17 football fields of glass hanging 828 meters up.
Why visit Burj Khalifa?
Highlights
Level 124 Observation Deck (452 meters)
The main observation deck wraps around the entire 124th floor with 360° floor-to-ceiling glass views. Walk the perimeter to see Dubai from every angle: Palm Jumeirah to the north, the Arabian Desert east, Dubai Marina west, and Burj Al Arab south. High-powered telescopes (AED 25 for 5 minutes) let you zoom in on landmarks up to 95 kilometers away—you see individual buildings on Palm Jumeirah's fronds or count boats in Dubai Marina. Interactive digital displays identify landmarks in real-time as you point. The outdoor terrace (weather permitting) lets you step outside at 452 meters. Average visit time: 45 minutes.
Level 125 Observation Deck with Mashrabiya Motifs (456 meters)
Level 125 sits directly above 124 and offers similar views from 4 meters higher. Traditional Arabic Mashrabiya lattice panels line the walls—these geometric wooden screens are a tribute to Islamic architecture and filter light. The outdoor terrace here is larger than level 124's and less crowded. This level also houses premium photo stations where professional photographers take your photo against Dubai's skyline (photos available for purchase).
Level 148 SKY Observation Deck (555 meters)
The world's highest observation deck accessible to the public. Level 148 features floor-to-ceiling windows, an outdoor terrace, and the SKY lounge serving complimentary Arabic coffee, dates, and soft drinks. The height difference from level 124 (103 meters higher) is significant. You see the full shape of Palm Jumeirah from here. The outdoor terrace offers unobstructed photo opportunities without glass reflections. VIP access limits crowds to 60 guests at a time versus 600+ on level 124.
Levels 152-154 VIP Lounge (585 meters)
Level 152 is a private lounge with comfortable seating, gourmet canapés and desserts from Armani Hotel, and a welcome glass of bubbly (champagne or sparkling juice). Only 50 guests are admitted per hour. Level 153 features a half-glass outdoor terrace. Level 154 offers additional viewing space. The suite-like setting, personal service, and near-empty observation areas justify the premium price for visitors who want exclusivity. You also get access to all lower observation decks (124, 125, 148) after the lounge.
The Multimedia Presentation (Ground Level)
Before ascending, you watch a 4-minute multimedia presentation showing how the Burj Khalifa was built. You see time-lapse footage of the tower rising floor by floor, learn how concrete was pumped 606 meters vertically, and understand why the Y-shaped design prevents the building from swaying. Workers installed 4-5 floors per week during peak construction, 20 meters of vertical building every 7 days. The presentation includes interviews with architects and engineers.
The World's Fastest Elevator System
The elevator ride covers 504 meters in 60 seconds at 10 meters per second. A LED display shows your ascending floor count, and subtle pressurization prevents ear popping. The walls feature smooth metallic panels, and the ceiling has ambient lighting that changes color as you rise. Each elevator carries 14 people and uses regenerative braking; the elevators generate electricity as they descend, feeding power back into the building.
